3. We want to add some Blending Options to this layer, so insert the following by right clicking your layer in the layers pallet and choosing blending options from the drop down menu.

4. To add a little texture to the top half of our background, we want to CTRL+CLICK on the thumbnail of the layer we just created to select it. On a new layer, fill your selection with #000000

5. Next go to “Filter > Noise > Add Noise” and insert the following options

6. Set your layers blend mode to Soft Light and it will look something like this:

Place it on your document in a similar fashion to the following (the screenshot for devise function can be found here):

13. This is how we want to layout our title and description to the right of our iPhone:

14. The font used was Helvetica for todays template. The blend options for the “DeviseFunction” text logo are the following:

The gradient used here, is the same one you can use on the tagline below DeviseFunction.

15. For the “What it does?” text, I used the following blending options:

24. All that’s left now is to repeat the process for a “Requirements” sections, and add an “Available on the iPhone” badge and your template is nearly complete. The last step is to add some text at the bottom for your copyright notice, and your done! our final document will look something like this:
